Magnetospheric Multi-Scale (MMS) Observations and simulations of high-energy electrons in the dayside magnetosheath

  • PI Heidi Nykyri

    CO-I Brandon Burkholder

    CO-I Xuanye Ma

  • ​The key objective of this study is to better understand the source and cause of high-energy electrons observed by the MMS in the dayside magnetosheath. 
Management Transformation (SSMT) Safety Management Systems (SMS) Pilot Project Criteria/Requirements

  • PI Alan Stolzer

  • This project aims to provide subject matter expertise in the development of SMS requirements/criteria that could be utilized as a basis for development of a design/manufacture SMS, as well as the regulatory acceptance and oversight of an implemented SMS within a design/manufacture.
Manpower Planning for Maintenance Crew at SFO

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • The objective of this project is to optimize the use of maintenance manpower at San Francisco International Airport for efficient use of available resources and reduce flight delays.
Matrix Analysis and Operator Theory

  • PI Edward Poon

  • Matrices and operators are ubiquitous throughout science, engineering, and mathematics; they are the transformations that arise whenever one studies a linear system (or approximates a nonlinear system by a linear one). Examples include rotations and reflections (rigid motions of space), spin operators (quantum mechanics and quantum computing), stress tensors (mechanics), regression and curve fitting (statistics and data analysis), derivatives and linear differential operators (dynamical systems), to name just a few.  By studying various properties, relations, and transformations of matrices and operators one may obtain insight into a wide range of phenomena.
Measuring Interstellar Temperature and Ionization Variations Using Observations of Faint Diffuse [OII] Emission

  • PI Edwin Mierkiewicz

  • The interstellar medium (ISM) plays a vital role in the ongoing cycle of stellar birth and death as well as galactic evolution. However the role of interstellar matter, from how its properties are influenced by stars to how, in turn, its properties influence star formation is poorly understood.

Media Literacy and Online Critical Thinking Initiatives

  • PI Diane Zorri

    CO-I Ann Phillips

    CO-I Daniel Gressang

    CO-I Matthew Sharp

    CO-I Mihhail Berezovski

    CO-I Rachel Silverman

    CO-I Steven Master

  • This project proposes a train-the-trainer professional development program for Volusia county’s secondary school educators to co-opt pedagogical tools and methods that challenge online violence mobilization narratives, increase awareness of violent extremist messaging and recruiting, and increase the capabilities of targeted populations to resist and counter messaging. 
Mesoscale Computer Modeling of the North American Monsoon over Arizona

  • PI Dorothea Ivanova

  • The Department of Meteorology is involved in research on the North American (Mexican) Monsoon in Arizona and the U.S. Southwest.
Meta-Analyses of the Effects of Standardized Handoff Protocols on Patient, Provider, and Organizational Outcomes

  • PI Joseph Keebler

    CO-I Elizabeth Lazzara

  • This meta-analysis attempts to understand the benefits of a structured communication process on patient, provider, and organizational outcomes. Studies have found that one of the most crucial points during a patient’s hospital stay is the transition of care between one or more providers, often referred to as a patient handoff. These brief interactions between providers are often especially vulnerable to communication breakdowns due to interruptions, omission of pertinent information by the sender or receiver of the information. To illustrate, upwards of 80% of severe, preventable medical errors have been attributed to miscommunication during handoffs. In other words, failures in communication during handoff are potentially responsible for the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives every year in the United States.
Micro Jet

  • PI Richard Beckwith

  • This research aims to provide opportunities for undergraduates to research and build a BD-5J and pursue a new method of aeronautical training.
Microfluidic Chip & Magnetic 3D Bioprinting Research

  • Breast and colon cancer are the leading causes of death in developed countries (e.g., U.S.) and are highly associated with numerous risk factors including genetics, diet, obesity, cigarette smoking, hypertension, stress, and spaceflight stressors. Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, the mortality rates are still high and the potential mechanisms driving the metastatic potential of the cancer cells are still not well characterized.

Mixing of a supercritical jet in a supercritical cross-flow

  • PI Neil Sullivan

    CO-I Mark Ricklick

  • This project is focused on the exploration and validation of numerical modeling techniques, for the simulation of supercritical jets in crossflow. 
Mobile Technology in Higher Education: An Extended Technology Acceptance Perspective

  • PI Dennis Pires

    PI Leila Halawi

  • The study provides an important theoretical framework for decision-making for educational institutions as they seek improvement in user acceptance of technology in the higher education setting. The study adds to the knowledge in the field of information technology by providing statistical research that uses path analysis to disentangle the various causal processes underlying the acceptance of technology in higher education. In this study, the research addresses the following question: Are the constructs of perceived resources, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitude towards use significant predictors of educators’ acceptance of mobile technology in higher education as defined by actual use?
